Requisitioning hidden grain in Ukraine, photograph by Max Alpert, 1 November 1930.
This photograph captures grain being dug up and requisitioned by Soviet authorities in Ukraine. During Stalin's collectivisation of agriculture, many farmers hid grain and other foodstuffs so that the state did not requisition it. In this photograph, the grain has been buried in a cemetery.
